sendmail - Syslog not logging anything; /var/log/syslog is empty - Server Fault

Maybe Solaris is different but that syslog.conf make no reference to /var/log/syslog Also you can test with logger -p mail.info test to test just syslog and not the syslog/sendmail combination. – Mark Wagner Oct 20 '10 at 18:26
